TW: mention of scars
Blank screen
Tried finding words
To fill them
Head heavy
Mind completely numb
Took a break
Didn’t realise
Had issues she
Needed to unpack
Scars left
Through the years
Ignored, not forgotten
Deep breaths
Taken once again
Turned back to the blank screen
Those treacherous memories ignored once more
Started typing
Slow at first
Trying to pretend
“You’re okay”
“Pretend you’re someone”
“Anyone but you”
Deluded herself
Into writing and
Escaping herself entirely
Needed help
Ignored by others
Everything seemed fine
Slept unsoundly
Woke to see
Illusion in place; she
Once again started to write as someone else.
Note: It’s been a long time coming but I’m back and I’ve started writing again!
If you’re new here, Hi! I like writing about everything under the sun, but I mainly focus on short snippets and poetry and baking. I’m also extremely indecisive as a person and that tends to be one of the reasons I don’t share too much of what I write- I just don’t think it’s great.
Do I think this is some of my best work? Not really but it’s been a while and I’m pretty okay with having to build my skills back again. Also, this was made out of the writing prompt “delusions”
Please do leave any constructive criticism because I would love to know what you think of this piece and what I could have done better 🙂
And I know I say this every single time I start posting on here again, but I’m going to try and do this regularly!
